Here’s just a taste of our workshop later this year, “Athletic Conditioning on the Chair”, on Friday, September 7th from 3:30pm-5:30pm. Discover functional movements against spring resistance in a variety of positions, that train core stability while working bilaterally, unilaterally or reciprocally with the limbs to enhance sport-specific performance or everyday life.

Using Sliders, you will learn how to use these simple props to work your entire body.  It delivers big results because the exercises engage your body’s core muscles: the abdomen and back.  A great workout to do at home, on a trip, or in conjunction with other fitness programs.
